I was a very happy bicyclist for 3 years that had a carriage. Of course my only problem was that the carriage wasn't big enough for big purchases.

But knowing that I got to shop and put groceries and stuff in the carriage, riding around car-insurance free, gas-free and the only repairs I had to worry about didn't amount to an arm and a leg like it would a car. My only other problem is that I picked the wrong bike type which was a one-speed so there was struggle.

Either way, I'd love to have that again.
